Biology

Course Number: #4500

There are over 2 million catalogued species of living things on our planet.  What methods do scientists use to learn about them?  What are living things made of and what makes them work?  How can a molecule hold instructions to make living things?  Biology is learned through the process of investigating chemistry, cell structure and function, genetics, evolution, classification and taxonomy and ecology.  This required freshman course builds the use of logic, creativity, and analytical skills in an inquiry-based setting to teach the fundamentals of biology.
